 * Hi there!
    I hope you can help me with the following problem:
 * I’m working on the preformance of my website. I’ve been running a few speed-tests.
   The speed test of GTMETRIX is showing Mailchimp as a external resource in the“
   browser caching warnings”. I’ve decided to remove the Mailchimp plugin and all
   of the forms from my website.
 * After running the speed test again it is still showing some Mailchimp resources
   in the report:
 *     ```

       https://downloads.mailchimp.com/css/signup-forms/popup/2.0/common.css (expiration not specified)

       ```
   
 * How can I completely remove Mailchimp from my website to get a higher score in
   the GTMETRIX test?
 * Thank you for helping me out.

 * What MailChimp plugins are you using on your site?
 * > can I completely remove Mailchimp from my website
 * If you dont need those plugins functionality, you can disable and remove them,
   
   this will remove mailchimp scripts from your HTML page code.
 * You will still get GTMetrix warning about Google Analytics and Google Maps scripts.
   Its very unlikely you can do anything about it without removing GA and Google
   Maps.

 * Thank you for your quick answer.
    I have disabled and removed the Mailchimp plugin
   from the website. But it is still giving me this output:

 * So I think it has to be somewhere else….

 * I dont see those script references in your site’s HTML code,
    Sucuri’s sitecheck
   does not see them too.

 * I also can’t find the scripts..
    So I don’t understand why those are in the “
   Leverage browser caching” waring of the GTMETRIX speed test?? Any idea on that?

 * Looks like you have connected a MailChimp account to your site at some time(?)
   and have then created a pop-up signup form to be triggered after 20 seconds from
   within MailChimp itself (not within WordPress).
 * This MailChimp script is being loaded just before </head>:
    `<script id="mcjs"
   >!function(c,h,i,m,p){m=c.createElement(h),p=c.getElementsByTagName(h)[0],m.async
   =1,m.src=i,p.parentNode.insertBefore(m,p)}(document,"script","https://chimpstatic.

   js");</script>`
 * You’ll need to disconnect your site from MailChimp completely. You need to do
   that via your MailChimp account

   this turned out te be the case. Just like you said!
    Thanks so much for the help
   🙂 Will put a ‘lock’ on this one.
